A VCCS Blackboard account, which you will use to view and complete
many course activities.
A VIVA account, which allows you to use the Virtual Library of
Virginia (VIVA).
Go to http://www.nvcc.edu/bbstart
to learn how to access these accounts.
Once you have your Blackboard account, you are ready to access the
course Blackboard web site. To access the online sessions of the
course, you need to open your browser and go to http://bb.vccs.edu
When the login screen appears, type your username in the Username text
field. The username is the first part of your NVCC student email
address before the @email.vccs.edu. For example, if your name is
Charlie Braden and your email is cbraden0009@email.vccs.edu, then your
username is cbraden0009.
If you do not know your NVCC student email address, go to either of
the following web addresses: http://www.nvcc.edu/bbstart
or http://www/ithd/studentmail.htm
Next, type your password in the Password text field. The password is
your date of birth (MMDDYY). For example, if you were born on August
21, 1981, your password is 082181.
If you cannot obtain your username and/or password, or if you want to
obtain additional information or technology help, navigate to the IT
Help Desk at the following web address: http://www.nvcc.edu/ithd
Once you have typed in your user name and password, click the Login
button. Navigate to the Blackboard Portal page where you can select
and enter into the Blackboard course in which you are enrolled. Be
sure to check the Announcements page for further directions.
Remember, if you need technology help, call or email the NVCC IT Help
Desk at 703-421-4141. I look forward to working with you
this semester and welcome any comments or concerns you may have with
this course site, the course content, or the classroom. Remember you
can always email me at jebraden@nvcc.edu.
